I really hope you can choose the attacks of other party members...

 

[jj984jj]

The game is looking fantastic. Though I was wondering how the turn order was determined in battle.

 

[Audette]

they picked a really boring area

Really? Seems like a great showcase of the visual style of the game to me.

Unreal does a great job showing that lighting and the neat fire textures. It's got me excited...

 

[Megawarrior]

Risking getting piled on.... OPINION: DQ has been one gen behind the times since the SNES days. They're great games still in spite of this fact though.

This game looks and plays like straight out of the PS2 generation with prettier graphics and HD resolution but DQ fans wouldnt have it any other way.

It reminds me of Rogue Galaxy on ps2 in a way.

 

[Kanann]

free move battle = dq10
auto camera = dq8

full ai and full control

 

[Alex_Mexico]

That sounds like a problem with having X being confirm instead of cancel. Which is the rightful control scheme for all good people. Jump on X is natural. O should be accept. X should be cancel. No conflicts.

Tell Square that. Jump on FFXV should've been in the Circle button overseas!

 

[Caim]

I really like the auto camera battle mode.

 

[Aeana]

You can control your party members manually, they're just using AI for the demo. Manual input was an option for everyone.

 

[Strings]

Oh thank fuck. The battle animations aren't to my taste at all, but the system is fine.

 

[CrisKre]

This looks shockingly lifeless to me. The is something off

 

[foxuzamaki]

Dude just got fucked

 

[zidanelucis]

So it's pretty much like FFXII or Ni No Kuni. And of course DQX.

Now I wonder if the 3DS version is turn based

 

[Audette]

The attack animations are looking great, makes me feel like I wanna see all the different attacks like the good old days of FF7-9 on ps1.

 

[Ray Down]

So it's pretty much like FFXII or Ni No Kuni. And of course DQX.

Now I wonder if the 3DS version is turned based

Of course it is.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

I've never seen so much damage being dealt in a Dragon Quest game.

 

[NolbertoS]

Gues my fears were dumbfounded. Its still Turn based JRPG to the core. Getting PS4, 3DS and Switch version if it does get announced. Love the classic feel of DQ games.

 

[duckroll]

So it's pretty much like FFXII or Ni No Kuni. And of course DQX.

Now I wonder if the 3DS version is turned based

The 3DS version is a real time strategy game. Like Starcraft.

 

[Megawarrior]

Um the magic in this game looks AMAZING.

 

[Kanann]

Kamuuuuu

 

[Ray Down]

The 3DS version is a real time strategy game. Like Starcraft.

Controlled with the D pad.

eh just wanted to see that big castle they teased the first time before it was finished
I wonder what it looks like now

 

[Shouta]

So you can play it mostly like DQ8 if you set your party members to listen to commands/manual and use the auto-camera. I guess the only thing is whether or not you input all commands at once or if you input them as their gauge fills up.

 

[Strings]

The camera really does this battle a disservice. Anything would look lifeless from these angles. Really odd they don't cut in on character attacks.

 

[Audette]

Um the magic in this game looks AMAZING.

Agreed. I really hope this comes out in English. -_-

 

[Kanann]

3ds times

 

[Prophane33]

Hooray! Those semi-useless day 1 guides. (Will always regret picking up the FF XII one).

 

[rpmurphy]

Did I see that correctly? You can even set your MC to AI tactics in battles?

 

[AmyS]

3DS version time !!!!

 

[zidanelucis]

Of course it is.

Calm down. I was commenting on how they mentioned the PS4 version will be more action oriented and 3DS will be more classic DQ. This seems to fit that bill.

 

[Audette]

What were those books, strategy guides?

 

[cw_sasuke]

Not even a XL...come on xD

 

[Strings]

What a flawless way to show off the 3DS version.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Over 300 Damage from one attack! What is this?

 

[Faustek]

Jebas, I want that 16bit version.

 

[Caim]

What were those books, strategy guides?

Yeah.

 

[foxuzamaki]

You would think sqaure would have a 3ds capture card

 

[Infernostew]

Not crazy about the chibi art style for the 3ds version

 

[Prophane33]

Did I see that correctly? You can even set your MC to AI tactics in battles?

Yup.

 

[AmyS]

Will the entire 3DS game be like that, 3D graphics on top screen, 2D 16-bit graphics on the bottom screen ?

 

[chrono01]

As crazy as it sounds...I think I like the look of the 3DS version more than the PS4 one. I'll gladly purchase both if given the option of course, but something about the 3DS version just looks more charming.

 

[zeromcd73]

Really hope the Switch version is PS4 based and not 3ds.

 

[jj984jj]

I want to play the game in 2D as well. Please bring this version over too.

 

[Strings]

Honestly think the 3ds battles straight up look more exciting because of their presentation.

 

[Shouta]

Did I see that correctly? You can even set your MC to AI tactics in battles?

You can do that in DQ8 for the 3DS, so it's not too new.

 

[Infernostew]

Will the entire 3DS game be like that, 3D graphics on top screen, 2D sprite graphics on the bottom screen ?

No. Only the beginning. You have to choose which you want to play at a certain point but you can switch back and forth at some point.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

I agree.

 

[sfried]

That debuger running on the top screen!

They retained both 2D sprites and 3D models? Does one show up depending on how you play (i.e. use the Control Pad instead of the Slide Pad)?

 

[Kandinsky]

Man, this to me just look better lol

Please be this for the Switch version.

Edit: I mean look at that fool running around, so charming.

 

[Ray Down]

Wish the 2D Battle had animated sprites.

 

[AmyS]

No. Only the beginning. You have to choose which you want to play at a certain point but you can switch back and forth at some point.

Okay... but why?
